I love Soviet-era commieblock areas and buildings both in former USSR and in Eastern Europe. Highway ("Magistraal" in Estonian) takes me through such areas and some nice blocks are located right next to them. I am happy that I can enjoy these buildings and areas in my hometown Tallinn every day. (In case you wanted to see shopping mall Magistral in Mustamäe, please go to http://www.magistral.ee.)

118 Väike-Õismäe in 2010

20.03.10

15-second shots at night. It was hard to get a clear picture.

18.04.10
Very nicely renovated.

Marvellous place!

Incredibly nice and cool look! A true soviet-time dream! These pictures are taken from the 9th floor.

Wow!

Beauty.

I think on the left is seen a new tall office-house on Pärnu road. It is 5 km by bird's eye view.

The tall faraway building is hotel "Olümpia", seen from 6.3 km away.

And here the double-steepled church is 5.4 km away.

Here you can see Old Town and it's churches, the eldest of them in the center, they are all about 6.1 km away. TV-tower is at the edge.

Here you can see TV-tower, which is 15 km away (it is over 300 m high)! Oh I like long distance views a lot :)

This is in another area.

These two are very very nice ones!

From inside the shopping centre.

One of the soviet-time beauties: a posh Volga!

Here is a short video that I did when I was waiting for the bus nr. 36 to take a video from the bus window.

And here is the video itself. Bus nr. 36 starts it's long trip from Väike-Õismäe and it goes to the centre through Mustamäe and Nõmme. It is a very nice trip through one of the most amazing areas that you can ever find in Tallinn! Enjoy the looks! The bus drives at the edge of Väike-Õismäe. (If you want to see the continuation part of this bus-route through Mustamäe, please see the post nr. 112.) There is an obvious negative side as well: nr. 36 is overcrowded. Especially 9 months in a year because it passes Tallinn Technical University... A good connection to the center but... overcrowded :| Thankfully I am not forced to use it anymore after I moved from one place in Mustamäe to another.

Väike-Õismäe seen from Stroomi beach.

The building in front belongs to Rocca al Mare area. It turned out that I configured their server backup recently :) Although I've never physically entered that nice new building.

Evening views seen from both sides of one of the buildings. Taken with my mobile phone because I didn't have my camera with me.
